Think the hunt is a gimmick to promote a new mega-site that combines the existing domains? That's what it's always seemed like to me...

no... when i joined a few months ago it was just ATS and BTS. since then it's branched off into what there is now. why split them just to join them again like that? it wouldn't make sense.

No, it would exclude BTS, but include AboveTopSecret.com, ConspiracyLinks.com, TerrorAnalysis.com and ATSNN.com.

No.

I think instead that ATS is the Procter & Gamble of Conspiracy Websites.

Maybe it's a way to get people to become aware of the other websites by having to surf through them to come up with answers and clues.

thats a good theory WaStEdDeAtH777. I hadnt even heard of Sportztawk until a ring was found there
